WORD FOR THE WISE: PROVERBS

images5JOG4O1W

PROVERB 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

The world entices both men and women constantly, appealing to the lusts of the flesh and the eyes. The result is our own demise, the degradation of the honor of our humanity, the distortion of the image of God in us, and the diminishing of God's glory. What a loss, when we subject ourselves to such base sinfulness and rebellion! But we are called to overcome the passions of the sin nature through Christ! Do not let your lusts go unchecked. Do not presume that you will not fall, as hunted prey, if you disregard the warnings of scripture or the provision of the ordinary means of grace. Fight by fleeing temptation! DON'T PLAY with God, nor with sin- the end of that game is sure destruction!
